The reversion, sometimes seen in people who take antiviral drug Paxlovid, again disrupted the president’s schedule after he resumed in-person events this week.
| US President Joe Biden has tested positive again for COVID-19 in a so-called “rebound” case seen in people who take antiviral drug Paxlovid.
“I’m feeling fine, everything’s good,” Mr Biden said in a video posted on Saturday to his Twitter account that showed him without a face mask on a balcony. He said he would work from home “for the next couple days”. Mr Biden took Paxlovid, a five-day treatment course that has been shown to sharply reduce symptoms, after first testing positive on July 21. He concluded the drug therapy on Monday evening and tested negative each of the four days after that.A small percentage of COVID-19 patients who take Paxlovid later test positive in rebound cases, like Mr Biden, which are typically associated with few or no symptoms.
